    Little Character Thing

    So I've missed 4 weeks. Wohoo. Or more like "boohoo", but that's more how I feel about missing 4 weeks than anything.

    But it's finally time this old thing becomes relevant. Made this a long time ago. Spoilers btw, if you're not caught up with Tapestry: A World Apart.

    Late Updates

    Wanted to apologize for being late on updating Tapestry: A World Apart. I'm trying to start an indie development project at the same time I'm taking classes, add in some health issues and the last weeks have not been great. Just know It's not a long-term thing and updates will begin again shortly. It's really just a matter of editing and finding a few hours for it.

    I think one of the most beautiful things about reality is how it never does a half job. Every little blade of grass, to every insect, and from the forces of gravity on planets and the fusion that fuels our sun, to the forces exerted by the motes of dust landing on the ground to thunder across the Earth, it's all perfectly consistent.

    Today... Is the day.

    The last time I uploaded a new chapter for A World Apart was just a month under 3 years ago.

    But today...

    After all that time, and one heck of a set of life experiences I can scarcely even remember all of or in order,

    That's going to change.

    This feels extremely significant to me. It's something I've put a tremendous amount of passion, soul and work into.

I'm not dead! Nor do I plan to be. Ever. · 10:01pm Mar 24th, 2014

So, yeah, mortality is overrated. I'm going immortal, here.

And on that note... Well, no, actually, on a completely different note, I just thought I'd make an entry to say that I'm picking up the pace on A World Apart stuff. I'm falling back in love with it, which is great for me and those of you who are looking forward to next chapter.

As my roommate put it; you know you're getting in the swing of writing when the characters take your plan for the chapter, and take it new directions, giving it a life of it's own.

Okay, well, that wasn't an exact quote, but me and him agreed on that message pretty much.

And I've realized for the first time ever, that my name here implies shipping myself with Twilight. Matthew + Twilight = Mattlight. Funny thing is, I just made the name thinking; "Oh, I'll just add 'light' to my first name and it'd sound pretty cool, and have part of my name." Never occurred to me it was shipping myself with Twily. Not complaining, though, I love the stuffing out of her (I wouldn't have paid $300 for a 16" plush of her if I didn't).

I think this picture captures well an odd mix of flattered and simultaneously creeped out. Okay, it'd be really creepy if she were real, but she's a fictional character, and that makes it okay. Right?


Anyways, maybe that's why I'm enjoying writing this chapter so much? It has Twilight, hint hint :3

EDIT: Oh, and the chapter's in the editing phase, now. It's looking to be a close second to "Friends and Enemies" for the longest chapter so far... Appropriately, so. The action's finally starting to pick up. Getting to scenes I've planned for for quite awhile now, heehee.

I know the LessWrong group agrees with you about dying.

I have 7 pony figures, each one costing 16$

1978929 I'm at college with 5 roommates. One of them is a brony, the rest don't even know what bronies are, and this is over my bed:

1979463 I am at home with 3 other siblings, they all know what bronies are, but they don't like the show. I also have 3 friends, one likes the show, one enjoys it greatly but doesn't buy the stuff, and the other really doesn't like the show and gets annoyed whenever we talk about it. And I have 5 pony T-shirts, 2 pony pants, a bunch of socks, a hat, and a robe (and I would get posters, if I could find them)
